...building will conflict with those in Appleton Chapel, and be substituted for them by the students. The College, by allowing attendance throughout the year at St. John's, has authorized such a practice; but it is more than doubtful whether the St. Paul's would be willing to support it, as the members seem to desire not to interfere in any way with present arrangements...

The application of such a system necessarily implies a much closer supervision of individuals, and a greater exercise of personal influence and discretion on the part of those charged with its administration, than is required under any scheme of fixed rules. . . .
